Sixburgh

Written by: Kate Snyder, Development and Donor Communications Coordinator

Here's another cool Have a Heart for Hunger fundraising idea -- The Sixburgh Challenge.* This bit of creativity comes compliments of one of EECM's terrific Board members. The basic premise is simple: she sent out an email with information about the campaign to her friends, challenging them to donate $6 and forward the email on to 6 people.

Yup, it's a pyramid scheme -- but with a higher purpose.

The Sixburgh Challenge has the benefit of being both quick and easy. The email comes in, you click on the "donate now" link, you forward the message on. You're done! You've fed the hungry and made a difference in the community and it only took two minutes. Not too shabby.

So far, The Sixburgh Challenge has raised more than $600 for the Have a Heart for Hunger campaign. Woo hoo!
